About Me

CURRENT MISSION

learn about myself and truely know who I am. To create the life I want,

ABOUT ME

Iv spent most of my life living between NZ and Australia, My heart is in NZ but I love traveling for now. i like to think of myself as an openminded, adventurous, laid back,friendly, spiritual person.
Im into Yoga, cooking...then eating it!:) movies, people,
new experiences, travelling - obviously.
And im up for giving anything a go once :)

PHILOSOPHY


I think the ultimate rule to life is balance it is so important but for some reason not so simple to master, but I'm getting there! I also think it is important to not judge nor compare to others and their choices in life, we have no idea what their journey is about.

One of my fav quotes:
The grass may be greener on the other side, but it is just as hard to mow! (John Butler)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Throughout my life ive met so many hospitable people who let me crash on the bed, floor, couch, whatever and vise versa, it's a great way to see and learn about different types of people and what they are into, I made some great friends. I have also hosted officially and been hosted a few times with couchsufring.

Interests

I am a creative person and like to express that in many ways such as art work, jewellery, clothes, cooking, i like to do anything that involves creating something with my own unique flair.

  • arts
  • cooking
  • yoga
  • clothing
  • movies
  • traveling
  • skydiving
  • beaches

Music, Movies, and Books

Well movies, Into the Wild and Along came Polly and Blow are my all time favourite, i like movies that have lots of twists and make you think, i also quite like alot of unusual films. Music - chilled out music,anything acoustic or folky,world music. I love Nz music, im into Ben Harper, Fat Freddys Drop, John Butler Trio, KT Tunstall, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, quite enjoy a bit of rock too - there is so much but those are a few.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I love New Zealand Its an amazing place to see, golden bay is my fav (Wharariki beach is out of this world!) Skydiving was pretty amazing, alongside witnessing the birth of my cousin's son.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think every experience in your life is on your path to teach you something, so whatever it may be that is needed at the time will be taught and learnt, or repeated until is it! :)
